Today is July 29, we are currently in Silver City, NM, 123.9 miles from the border and the terminus of the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route. Unfortunately due to time constraints, we can't update you on the past week at this time, nor can we upload pics. We will add all this to the blog after we finish. Our plan is to ride 77 miles tomorrow to Hachita, camp in Sam's yard then leave Monday July 30 in the morning to ride the last 47 miles to the border, Antelope Wells, NM. We had to book our flight in advance and gave ourselves some time, so we don't fly home until August 2 from El Paso, TX. We are excited about the possibility of meeting up with our very good friend and my Latin American Brother from another Mother, Juan in El Paso. He is being sent to the base there before shipping off overseas. Once we get to the border we will have a shuttle service waiting for us to drive us to our destination. So this is it, we are excited and overwhelmed at times with various emotions. Next time need to bring some sort of laptop, netbook, whatever to be able to update more regularly and not be constrained by time. So hopefully the spot tracker is working, for anyone who really gives a flies butt, you can track us til the end in the right hand column, go down to the map scroll over and click on my name 'Doug Wenger et al' and see us finish. Can't wait to see the fanfare at the end, hope you all can make it! ;~)
